Global poverty remains a significant issue, impacting billions of lives
around the world. Here are some key statistics and insights regarding the
current state of poverty:
1. Poverty Line: The World Bank defines extreme poverty as living on
less than $1.90 a day. As of recent estimates, about 689 million people
(around 9% of the global population) live below this threshold. (KR
ROUGHLY s 160 PER DAY) Regional Disparities: Sub-Saharan Africa and South
Asia have the highest concentrations of extreme poverty. In some countries,
over 30% of the population may live in extreme poverty.
2. Impact of COVID-19: The pandemic has exacerbated poverty levels,
reversing years of progress. Estimates suggest that an additional 97
million people may have fallen into extreme poverty due to its economic
fallout. (KR IT IS A TEMPORARY YARD STICK)
3. Multidimensional Poverty: Beyond income, multidimensional poverty
includes factors like education, health, and living standards. According to
the Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI), around 1.3 billion people are
considered multidimensionally poor. {KR CAN LACK OF EDUCATION BRITISH
STANDARD WILL INCREASE THE POVERTY? RICH AMERICAN FARMERS HAVE NOT EVEN
GONE TO SCHOOL)
4. Child Poverty: Children are disproportionately affected by poverty.
It's estimated that about 356 million children live in extreme poverty,
which can have long-term implications for their health, education, and
future opportunities. {KR A LITTLE MORE THAN 50% OUT OF 9% OF THE
POPULATION, ARE CHILDREN UNDER POVERTY; POVERTY OF PARENTS ONLY CAN LEAD TO
THE CHILDREN POVERTY; SOME LOITERING AS ORPHANS MAY BE; BUT ORPHANAGES ARE
THERE TO RELIEVE THEIR POVERTY.}
5. Urban vs. Rural Poverty: Rural areas tend to have higher poverty
rates compared to urban settings, although urban poverty is rising as more
people move to cities in search of better opportunities.{KR: URBAN POV
ERTY IS ALSO AS PARALLEL AS RURAL ONE ONLY; THAT AMONG THE EDUCATED ALSO
THEN POVERTY MAY PREVAIL; SO RURAL IS MORE THAN URBAN ETC ARE UTOPIA ONLY}
6. Progress and Challenges: While global poverty rates have declined
over the past few decades, challenges such as climate change, conflict, and
economic instability continue to threaten progress. {KR SO REDUCTION IN
POVERTY ALONE LEAD TO JUST 9%} (VIZ 91% ARE ABOVE THE LINE OF POVERTY)
Addressing global poverty requires coordinated efforts across multiple
sectors, including education, healthcare, and economic development, along
with international cooperation and support.
All the above estimates are based on certain self defined
self-serving statistics.
The estimates of global poverty are based on various data sources and
methodologies. Here are the primary bases for estimating poverty:
The World Bank sets the international poverty line at $1.90 a day, adjusted
for purchasing power parity (PPP). This figure is derived from the cost of
basic needs in different countries. Countries conduct household surveys
that assess income, consumption, and expenditure. These surveys help
estimate the percentage of the population living below the poverty line.
This index measures poverty beyond income, considering factors such as
education, health, and living standards. Data is gathered through household
surveys to assess deprivations in these areas. Organizations like the World
Bank, UN, and various NGOs compile and analyze data from multiple
countries, creating comprehensive databases that track poverty trends.
Econometric models are used to estimate poverty levels in countries where
direct survey data is limited. These models can extrapolate data based on
economic indicators, demographics, and other relevant factors. Reports from
organizations like the UN Development Programme (UNDP) and the
International Monetary Fund (IMF) provide insights and estimates based on
extensive research and analysis. Some studies track the same households
over time, providing data on changes in income, consumption, and
well-being, which helps refine poverty estimates. Thus, only all the above
studies defined their own poverty. $48,000 per annum in the USA is not
poverty in the USA? Having a second third hand car running on the roads,
where corporations in the USA are unable to lay good roads today, is the
nation reeling under poverty? YES, in my stat. Once petrol crossed $5 a
gallon and now limping back; and as travel in USA is not by feet and 4
wheelers alone are those two feet, people reeled under poverty then and
maybe even now; is it right? YES. If poverty is reeling under the stress
but all have food, Residence and existence smooth without much savings is
also a poverty then USA is the poor nation only as 1 if china demands all
debts to be recovered from USA and 2 If all credit cards are withdrawn
asking the credit card holders to pay at once, all including the Govt will
become a pauper. Hence our village lack of above methods is not at all
poverty.
இன்மையின் இன்னாதது யாதெனின் இன்மையின்
இன்மையே இன்னா தது.
வறுமையைப் போல் துன்பமானது எது என்று கேட்டால், வறுமையைப் போல் துன்பமானது
வறுமை ஒன்றே ஆகும்.
You ask what sharper pain than poverty is known;
Nothing pains more than poverty, save poverty alone.
There is nothing that afflicts (one) like poverty.
inmaiyin innaadhadhu yaadhenin inmaiyin
inmaiyae innaa thadhu
இன்மை எனவொரு பாவி மறுமையும்
இம்மையும் இன்றி வரும்.
வறுமை என்று சொல்லப்படும் பாவி ஒருவனை நெருங்கினால், அவனுக்கு மறுமையின்பமும்,
இன்மையின்பமும் இல்லாமற் போகும் நிலைமை வரும்.
Malefactor matchless! poverty destroys
This world's and the next world's joys.
When cruel poverty comes on, it deprives one of both the present and future
(bliss).
inmai enavoru paavi maRumaiyum
immaiyum indri varum
குறள் 1043:
தொல்வரவும் தோலும் கெடுக்கும் தொகையாக
நல்குரவு என்னும் நசை.
வறுமை என்று சொல்லப்படும் ஆசைநிலை ஒருவனைப் பற்றினால், அவனுடைய பழைமையானக்
குடிப் பண்பையும் புகழையும் ஒரு சேரக் கெடுக்கும்.
Importunate desire, which poverty men name,
Destroys both old descent and goodly fame.
Hankering poverty destroys at once the greatness of (one's) ancient descent
and (the dignity of one's) speech.
tholvaravum thoalum kedukkum thokaiyaaka
nalkuravu ennum nasai
குறள் 1044:
இற்பிறந்தார் கண்ணேயும் இன்மை இளிவந்த
சொற்பிறக்கும் சோர்வு தரும்.
வறுமை என்பது, நல்ல குடியிற் பிறந்தவரிடத்திலும் இழிவு தரும் சொல்
பிறப்பதற்குக் காரணமான சோர்வை உண்டாக்கி விடும்.
>From penury will spring, 'mid even those of noble race,
Oblivion that gives birth to words that bring disgrace.
Even in those of high birth, poverty will produce the fault of uttering
mean words.

Thuis poverty is more correctly defined here than by virtual
unrealistic $ 1.90. Poverty strikes through the mind only and not at 160
rupees per day. K RAJARAM IRS 301024
